http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/are-you-trying-to-lose-those-last-few-pounds/#respondFri, 21 Aug 2015 16:21:40 +0000http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/?p=74There is nothing better than being in shape to keep you happy and healthy. If you have a few pounds you would like to lose, then spend a few minutes with these helpful tips that will guide you on your way. Whether you know a lot or a little, a little push never hurts.

Avoid putting too much emphasis on the weight loss. Although this is your #1 goal, if you are putting too much emphasis on this stage of your life, it can become too overwhelming to proceed healthily. You want to make sure you understand that you are still beautiful and that weight loss is for health.

Consider joining a local sports club or class if you’re having problems with losing weight. Zumba classes are very popular right now, and you shouldn’t have a hard time convincing a friend or family member to join you. This makes working out fun and will make you more likely to turn exercising into a habit!

Avoid eating when you are bored when trying to lose weight. When you eat to relieve boredom, you are more likely to eat high fat or sugary snack foods like chips or candy instead of healthy foods. You are also more likely to eat more food than if you plan your snacks.

Buy portion controlled healthy snacks to help you limit how much you consume at snack time. If you are careful not to consume too many snacks, while still being satisfied, you will lose weight. If you eat a good snack between meals you will not overeat at your next meal.

When on a weight-loss regimen, it is very important to stay hydrated. By drinking six to eight glasses of water a day, you will discover that you are less hungry and smaller portions will satisfy your hunger. Whenever you get the desire to snack, simply drink a glass of water first and wait ten minutes. On many occasions, this will either remove your desire for a snack or it will lower the amount of food needed to make you feel full.

If you are working at weight loss but still want to enjoy the occasional treat, try this clever trade-off. Each time you decide you are going to allow yourself some higher-calorie goodies, make yourself do 30 pushups or sit-ups first. Or, go for a 15 minute walk. The added calories you burn will help to offset the extra food you are about to eat. If its too much work, just leave the junk food where it is!

If you are getting bored with that plate of salad sitting in front of you at nearly every meal, throw it in a pocket! Any good weight loss plan includes plenty of healthy salad but since that can get old quick, toss your salad in a pita and splash some lemon juice on it for a tasty yet still weight loss conscious treat!

When eating out, split your meal with a friend. Most restaurants serve portions that are much too large for one person to eat alone. Ask for two plates and split your meal with a friend or family member instead. Not only will you be consuming less calories, you will also end up saving more money.

Let yourself be fidgety! Being a restless person can actually be a good thing when it comes to losing weight. Studies have shown that people who fidget while they sit are burning more calories than those who do not. Try moving around a little even when you are sitting down.

If you are going to eat out at a restaurant then you should probably skip the prix-fixe menu even though it is probably the most economical way to eat. This way you can have more control over the food choices you make and you will not feel tempted to eat something that you shouldn’t.

Hopefully these ideas have given you either new found knowledge or an affirmation of things you already knew. Both are important in getting going when it comes to weight loss. Remember to use these ideas, not only for losing, but also for moderating when you reach your goal. Keeping yourself fit and vibrant is a great way to enjoy your life.

http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/simple-things-you-can-do-today-to-improve-your-digestion/#respondMon, 27 Apr 2015 11:36:38 +0000http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/?p=66Do you suffer from gastrointestinal challenges? We’re talking about gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation and sometimes even nausea. Maybe you’ve even wondered if you have an inflammatory bowel disease or a digestive disorder.

Stomach problems are common. They’re so common that consumers spend billions of dollars every year on digestion remedies. These remedies often cause more problems than they resolve and the relief is only temporary. The good news is that there are things you can do today to improve your digestion.

1. Eat Yogurt

Yogurt contains probiotics. These are microorganisms, bacteria, which are helpful for digestion. Your stomach is full of billions of these healthy bacteria. Unfortunately, stress, the environment, and a not-so-healthy diet can kill these good bacteria and make room for the bad guys. This causes stomach upset and digestive issues.

Eating a yogurt every day can help keep the levels of good bacteria high. Other sources of probiotics include fermented foods like kefir, kombucha, miso soup, and fermented food like pickles and sauerkraut.

2. Drink Water

The digestive process requires water to help digest and absorb foods. If you don’t have enough water in your stomach then your body will pull water from your cells. Of course, there’s a limit to how much it can pull from your cells. If you stay hydrated then your digestive system can effectively move food through your body, absorb nutrients and efficiently eliminate waste. Not enough water and you’ll suffer from constipation and/or diarrhea.

3. Move Your Body

A sedentary lifestyle sends signals to your body that it doesn’t need much energy. Thus, digestion slows down. Additionally, sitting down just doesn’t facilitate proper movement through your intestines. You don’t have to run a marathon every day to have a healthy system. Simply walk more and try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day.

4. Eat Better

Try to reduce salt, sugar, and fat from your diet. This is accomplished by replacing junk food and processed foods with whole foods. Replace that cookie with an apple and you have more fiber and less salt, fat, and sugar. Replace your morning cereal with steel-cut oats or a veggie and protein smoothie, and you once again have more fiber and nutrients and fewer empty calories.

The fiber helps your digestive system stay healthy. Processed foods are packed with irritants that cause inflammation in your digestive lining. Reduce them and improve the health of your gut.

Finally, stop smoking and strive to drink no more than two glasses of alcohol a day. Reduce stress and smile more. Sometimes the path to better digestive health is as simple as taking better care of yourself and your body.

http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/natural-remedies-against-acne/#respondSun, 27 May 2012 10:03:03 +0000http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/?p=47Do not give up on treating your acne yet. If nothing has worked so far, these helpful tips should make a difference.

Drinking water is the best way to eliminate toxins and clean your complexion. If you smoke or drink alcohol, coffee and sodas, your skin is probably saturated with toxins. Drink eight glasses of water every day and stay away from other beverages. Exercise regularly so you can sweat, or go to a steam room or a sauna. Sweating is the best way to unclog your pores and get rid of harmful toxins. If you can sweat everyday, you should clear your complexion within a few weeks only. Remember to carry your water bottle with you all the time and to replace other beverages by water.

A honey mask is a good way to clean your pores and reduce the infection. Wash your face with warm water to open the pores and apply honey on your face. You can mix the honey with a little bit of water if it is too thick to be spread evenly. Wait a few minutes and rinse the honey once it has formed a crust on your face. This mask will leave your skin smooth and clean. You can also use sugar to exfoliate your skin: wash your face and rub your skin gently with sugar in small circular motions. Focus on the areas where you have blackheads and clogged pores. After you use sugar or honey on your skin, make sure you clean your skin thoroughly.

Eating foods rich in chromium helps you stay in control of your blood levels and your acne. You can find chromium in fruits such as apples or bananas. It is also present in green beans, potatoes, garlic, broccoli, wheat and turkey meat. Make an effort to introduce more of these aliments in your daily diet, or find a multivitamin supplement that contains chromium.

Vitamin A is absolutely essential to a healthy complexion. If you are not getting enough vitamin A, eat more carrots, sweet potatoes, dark leafy greens, butternut squash, liver, lettuce, apricots and cantaloupe. Taking a multivitamin is also a good solution. Remember that taking supplements is not an excuse to eat unhealthy foods.

Keeping your pillowcase and bed linen clean is the best way to prevent the spread of bacterias and oil. When you sleep, your pillowcase absorbs a lot of oil from your face and hair: wash your pillowcase regularly so this oil does not clog your pores again the following night. If you have a cotton pillowcase, replace it with a silk one, since silk does not retain oil as much as cotton does. Keep other items clean too: your towels, your clothes, your scarves and hats. Anything that touches your skin should be cleaned regularly. The same thing is true for your hands: avoid touching your face or you will keep spreading bacterias and oil on your face.

These simple tips are efficient and do not cost anything. Try applying them and do the best you can to change your habits: you should quickly see results.

http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/importance-of-vitamin-supplements/#respondTue, 29 Nov 2011 21:42:01 +0000http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/?p=30The use of natural vitamin supplements is good for human hair. It has been proven that due to stressful life style and lack of nutritious diets people are losing their hair in young age.

Modern diets have contributed to the bad health of people. It is seen that the food taken by people lacks in nutritional quality. Given the circumstances, intake of nutritional intake is a good idea. Natural vitamin supplements and herbal nutritional supplements are useful for general health as well as health of hair. Many people take natural vitamin supplements to make up for the lack of nutrition in their food.

There are vitamins useful for hair as well as general health. Some vitamins useful for hair are the following:

Vitamin A – An antioxidant, vitamin A helps to produce healthy sebum in the scalp. People should take 5, 000 IU of intake per day. This vitamin is found in food like fish, meat, cheese, liver oil, eggs, cabbage, milk, carrots, spinach, broccoli, apricots and peaches.

Vitamin B2 – Intestinal flora is responsible for the production of vitamin B2 in the human body. This vitamin is required by the human body for metabolism of amino acids, fatty acids and carbohydrates. It is most beneficial for the skin, hair and nails. Its deficiency may result in hair loss. Vitamin B2 should be a part of natural vitamin supplements you take.

Vitamin B6 – The presence of vitamin B6 prevents hair loss and helps in production of melanin, the pigment which gives hair its color. Vitamin B6 is found in food such as liver, grains, cereals, vegetables, meat and egg yolk. It should be taken in the amount of 1.6 mg per day. It plays a key role in red blood cell metabolism and cellular growth. Vitamin B6 is also responsible for the production of hemoglobin, a compound within the red blood cells that carries oxygen to body tissue.

Vitamin B3 – Vitamin B3 is more effective when it is used in combination with biotin. It has a positive effect on hair growth by reducing cholesterol, which when produced in the scalp sebaceous glands can trigger the formation of DHT.

Vitamin C – It is a natural anti-oxidant and helps maintain healthy hair and skin. It should be taken in the amount of 60 mg per day. It is richly found in citrus fruit, kiwi, pineapple, tomato, green pepper, potato, green pepper, etc.

Vitamin E – It is found in soybean, dried bean and green vegetables. This vitamin is helpful in hair growth as it increases scalp blood circulation. It should be taken in the amount of 400 IU daily.

With the proper use of natural vitamin supplements and herbal nutritional supplements you can improve your health that will contribute to the overall improvement in your life.

http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/earache-home-remedies/#respondThu, 17 Nov 2011 12:35:30 +0000http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/?p=27An earache is often (though not always) preceded by a cold and can be a problem for children and adults alike. Children seem to get them more often, but an earache can strike anyone, regardless of their age. What typically happens is that fluid accumulates in the Eustachian tubes, which puts pressure on the eardrum, and it’s this pressure that causes the pain. If you have an earache and can’t get to a doctor right away, then you may want to try some of these earache home remedies.

Before trying any home remedy it is important to note that you should never stick an object in your ear. Doing so could puncture your eardrum, and that will result in even more pain as well as permanent hearing loss. The following remedies are not meant to be medical advice, so always check with your doctor before trying any of them.

1. A hair dryer set on the lowest temperature setting can gently warm the ear and bring relief in a few minutes. Do not hold too close to your ear, and be sure the fan is set to its minimum speed. You want to warm the ear, but you also want to do it as gently as possible.

2. A heating pad can also be used to warm your ear. Wrap a towel around it first, as you don’t want it to have direct contact with your skin, and then place it on the outside of the ear that is giving you the problem. You can use a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel if you don’t have a heating pad.

3. Place a few drops of fresh garlic juice (squeezed directly from a clove of garlic) in the problematic ear will serve as a mild antibiotic and often brings relief. Placing a piece of gauze on the outside of the ear will help to trap the juice so it can do a more thorough job. Gently rinse the ear with clean, warm water after five to ten minutes.

4. While everybody is different, some people find they are more susceptible to earaches after eating a lot of dairy products. You can try eliminating all dairy from your diet for a few days to see if that does the trick.

5. A couple drops of warmed olive or mineral oil put in the ear can bring relief. However, be very careful that you don’t overheat the oil. It should never be warmer than body temperature; otherwise you run the risk of burning your ear which will only add insult to injury.

If the pain doesn’t go away after trying these earache home remedies, then you should visit your doctor. It’s possible that you have an ear infection which may require a course of prescription antibiotics. An earache isn’t any fun, and if left untreated can lead to more serious problems. In other words, it’s not something you should ignore (if that’s even possible).

http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/high-blood-pressure-home-remedies/#respondTue, 15 Nov 2011 20:27:39 +0000http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/?p=23High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a serious medical issue that should be controlled. If it isn’t properly treated it can potentially lead to kidney problems, stroke, heart disease and other health problems. Unfortunately, the cause of hypertension is not yet entirely understood, which can make prevention and treatment somewhat tricky. The good news is that there are high blood pressure home remedies that work for some people.

Before you try any of them it is absolutely essential that you talk to your doctor first. He will be aware of your health history and can make additional recommendations. Furthermore, if you are on medication for the treatment of high blood pressure, you should never stop taking it unless your doctor says otherwise.

It has been well documented that a lot of drugs for hypertension have some potentially serious side effects (again, don’t stop taking them unless instructed to do so by your doctor). However, you can always try some high blood pressure home remedies to get your condition under control. If you can use natural methods to reduce it low enough, then your doctor may allow you to stop taking hypertension drugs.

However, even if you haven’t been diagnosed with high blood pressure, there is still a chance that you have it. Some researchers believe that as many as 95% of people with hypertension don’t even know they have it. That’s why this disease has earned the nickname of the “silent killer”.

Here are a few remedies that people have used:

1. Drinking the juice of 1/2 of a lemon mixed in with 8 fluid ounces of water every 2 to 3 hours seems to have a positive effect for some people.

2. Add 1 teaspoon of fenugreek seeds to 1 cup water. Drink it once in the morning, and then again at night. People who have successfully used this method say it can take anywhere from 3 to 4 weeks for it to work, but it may be worth trying.

3. 1 tablespoon of the juice of a gooseberry mixed with a bit of honey is thought to keep your blood flowing properly. Have a spoon of this mixture to get your day started.

4. Diet and exercise. Sure, there are some concoctions that you can try for a “quick fix”, but nothing beats diet and exercise as a home remedy for high blood pressure. Reducing the amount of sodium in your diet will go a long way toward controlling your hypertension. Even if you stay on medication, chances are that your doctor will want you to reduce your sodium intake. Doing aerobic exercise most day of the weeks will improve your overall health and can potentially lower your blood pressure; don’t overdo it though.

Try these high blood pressure home remedies and see for yourself how well they work. Again, be sure to check with your doctor, and never stop taking any medication unless you are expressly told to do so by your doctor. Other than that, these remedies can help you get things under control.

http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/common-contents-of-vitamin-supplements/#respondWed, 16 Sep 2009 14:08:07 +0000http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/?p=20Anyone who takes vitamin supplements and looks at its bottles or boxes is familiar with the vitamins that are contained in each tablet.

But what do those vitamins really do? Do you really need to take them? Below is a list of the most common vitamins found in supplements as well as a description of what they do.

Vitamin A

– commonly found in leafy vegetables and in other products like carrots, broccoli, papaya, eggs and liver, this vitamin helps keep the eyes healthy. A deficiency of this vitamin can cause permanent loss of eyesight.

Vitamin B1

– thiamine is the other name for this vitamin. It keeps the heart and the digestive and nervous systems functioning normally. Aside from that, thiamine is also important in a person’s physical growth and development. Good sources of
this vitamin include beef, pork, nuts and legumes, among other foods.

Vitamin B2

– otherwise known as riboflavin, this vitamin is important in metabolizing energy as well as fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Common sources of this vitamin include milk, cheese and leafy vegetables. A deficiency of this vitamin
is signaled by cracked lips, mouth ulcers and sore throat, among other symptoms.
Vitamin C

– also known as ascorbic acid, this vitamin has a lot of benefits attributed to it. Some of them include boosting the immune system and minimizing the symptoms of illnesses. It is also a well-known antioxidant. Lack of this vitamin
can cause scurvy that leads to loss of teeth and eventually, death.

http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/getting-started-in-herb-gardening/#respondMon, 20 Apr 2009 00:13:31 +0000http://www.profitherbals.com/blog/?p=18Imagine starting dinner, the onions and garlic sizzling away in the frying pan, tomatoes chopped and ready to go, all you need is a bit of fresh thyme and you have the perfect spaghetti sauce. So you just pop out the front door and grab a handful. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? But many people are afraid to start herb gardening because they think it is too difficult for someone who is just getting started.

However, herb gardening isn’t nearly as difficult as you might imagine. In fact, if you begin with seedlings, you shouldn’t have any problems at all! There is no need to start seeds, which can be rather difficult and time consuming. Just pop down to your local plant nursery and they can set you up with a wide variety of herbs for your new garden.

A herb garden can be planted just about anywhere that you have space. A strip of dirt beside the front walk, or you could take over a flower bed or two. Even if you have no outdoor space, herbs can be grown in large containers set in a well-lit area or on the balcony. So, you see, there really is no reason not to start herb gardening today.

Before planting your herbs, you will want to make sure that they have a nice nutritious soil to go into. Add aged manure or bagged fertilizer to the area that you plan to use for herb gardening and turn it over with a shovel so everything is mixed in. Now you are ready to get started planting.

Herb gardening requires a little bit of planning, not much. When you buy your plants, they should come with a little plastic marker that gives you basic information about each plant, how tall it will grow, how wide, etc. It is a good idea to read this information before planting your baby herbs. This will help you arrange your herb garden in the most efficient manner possible.

You will want to leave sufficient space around each plant to allow for its eventual growth. Gardening this way means that you won’t have to dig things up later, although it might mean that your garden looks rather sparse for the first year or so. To fill up extra spaces in the meantime you can put in temporary flowering plants like marigolds and pansies.

Taller plants should go in the back of the flower bed if it is along a fence or house. For a round or oval shaped bed, you will want the tallest plants to go in the middle and gently slope down from there. When herb gardening, you need to remember that access is key if you want to enjoy the herbs in your food. To pick them, you have to be able to reach them!

Once you have started gardening, it is hard to stop. You will find yourself pausing to check out gardening techniques on your way to work or when you take your daily walk. Anything interesting and you’ll be back to apply it to your own gardening in the herb plot! It really is quite addicting.

How would you like to be given a short tutorial on how to promote herbal products and make money online?

Herbal products sell like crazy these days. They sell crazy just about everywhere they are stocked.

Did you know that you can promote almost ANY herbal product ONLINE?

– You don’t need to stock the herbal products

– You don’t need to provide customer support

– Heck…you don’t even need to touch the product.

The system I’m talking about is known as Affiliate Marketing.

Affiliate Marketing is insanely powerful and can just about be implemented by anyone, even by children.

Making money with affiliate programs is broken down into the following core topics

– Find out what people are looking for online

– Provide them with what they want

It’s as easy as that. Broad, but spot on.

You simply sign up to affiliate programs (which are free) and then grab the affiliate links.

When somebody clicks through the affiliate link and buys the product on the landing page, you are credited with a commission.

For herbal products the commissions can be really high. In some cases up to $200 per sale! You would be surprised to know how many people actually buy herbal products online. They DO, because the majority of the products cannot be found at their local pharmacy!

Now as a future affiliate marketer you need to build yourself an empire online. What I mean by that is, you need to build a reputable website online or get somebody to build it for you. You’ll then need a domain name and hosting which will usually cost you $9 per year for a domain name and about $8 per month for a hosting account.

You think it’s difficult to built your own website? You’ll be surprised to know that it’s actually VERY easy. If you can work with Microsoft Word, then you can easily create a website, seeing that the majority of website building software are super easy to use.

You should create a website that is filled with information on what your target market wants and then point them to a page that pre-sells the herbal product. You can talk about the benefits of the herbal product etc and then provide them with the affiliate link. You should promote your website online by submitting article like this one as well as optimize it for the search engines like Google so that you can rank well in Google for the terms and phrases that your pages target.

Affiliate marketing is an art form and there are a lot of things one needs to learn as well as implement to make a very good income. However, everything can be achieved over time and with the right guidance.
